Having no license means having no profession?

Do journalists feel intimidated of not having license like other professions? I doubt it. It doesn't matter if journalists do not have license in their hands, it won't affect their performances, I guess…Journalists are careless people. Careless in the sense that they don't care how complicated and how dangerous their beats are. They just gather news. It's their satisfaction. They are careless in undergoing many hard situations like dealing with many different people regardless of the people's backgrounds. They wouldn't mind if their interviewee is a terrorist or a murderer. They are brave enough to deal with these kind of people. They have charms to lighten the atmosphere between them and their interviewees.
I do not intend to make any comparison between journalism and other licensed professions. As a journalism student, my defense mechanism is it's all about passion and commitment to what world you want to belong. Journalism world is unpredictable and full of surprises. Every single moment, this world shows many new things, and the privilege of journalists is being the first one among other professions to know about these new things.
Having license of other professions is having power to practice those kinds of professions. Journalists having no license at all can practice their professions too. That's the power of freedom with the sense of responsibility. Not being limited means not being responsible. Every job has responsibilities. Professionals carry those responsibilities while practicing their professions. Professionals are accountable for their clients, same as the journalists. Journalists are accountable for the lives of their interviewees if they are involved in dangerous stories. They are also accountable for themselves. They protect not just their names and images, but also their lives when going to critical and dangerous situations while gathering news.
I ask myself, do only licensed professionals can be called professionals? Do journalists can also be called professionals?Personally, no and yes. No, not only licensed people can be called professionals.Yes,journalists can also be called professionals even the abscence of license because Journalism is considered as a profession and journalists are the ones practicing that kind of profession, so they are professionals.And the years in school that the journalists spent just to be called professional journalists is enough plus the experiences of being journalists that not all people experienced.
